At the antipodes of the dull and stiff architecture that characterized the suburbs of the 1960s, Les Choux de Créteil (Val-de-Marne) is a set of eleven towers designed by the utopian architect Gérard Grandval, with concrete balconies in the shape of leaves and petals. Built on former market garden land, these whimsical-looking habitats were captured by photographer Wendy Huynh and artistic director Jessica Pichet, in a rich photographic project that plunges us into the heart of the lives of neighborhood residents.
